Ten years in the Marine Corps, during which I traveled to several different countries (14 to be exact). It let me discover the most important thing I've ever learned: People are People. The colors of their skin... the religions they follow... None of that really matters because everyone has the same basic wants and needs: Food, shelter, belief in a purpose for their lives, and a better life for themselves and for their children.

The breakdown of a long term relationship; it made me question who I was, what I was doing, why I was doing it, what I wanted, etc, etc.
I had never gained much self confidence and this, of course, knocked what I had sideways. I had to sit down and analyse (horrible word) myself. I came out the other side a totally changed person. I now have self confidence; I'm more aware of my ego, I don't worry so much about the impression I'm giving people and I speak my mind now rather than thinking about what I'm going to say and worrying about what others think.
